Watch out, your solution (the Plunker provided in the question) doesn’t close the popups of other boxes when opening a second popup (on a page with multiple selects).
By clicking on a box to open a new popup the click event will always be stopped. The event will never reach any other opened popup (to close them).
I solved this by removing the event.stopPropagation();
line and matching all child elements of the popup.
The popup will only be closed, if the events element doesn’t match any child elements of the popup.
I changed the directive code to the following:
select.html (directive code)
link: function(scope, element, attr){
scope.isPopupVisible = false;
scope.toggleSelect = function(){
scope.isPopupVisible = !scope.isPopupVisible;
}
$(document).bind('click', function(event){
var isClickedElementChildOfPopup = element
.find(event.target)
.length > 0;
if (isClickedElementChildOfPopup)
return;
scope.$apply(function(){
scope.isPopupVisible = false;
});
});
}
I forked your plunker and applied the changes:
